"I decided to leave ahead of schedule, but the letter was delivered late, so I didn't know that you would enter Beijing today." Without waiting for Jiang Ying to ask, Jin Qi took the initiative to say.

Jiang Ying blinked.

Brother Jin didn't care about Fang Cai's affairs at all?

"Brother Jin is not angry with me?" Jiang Ying thought that it was more appropriate to ask some words, after all, her intuition was mostly wrong.

Unexpectedly, Jin Qi asked her rhetorically: "What do you have to do with it?" ”

What to do when mad at her?

It wasn't that she rushed up to throw herself into her arms—

He was going to settle this account, but he didn't settle it with her.

Jin Qi felt that he couldn't understand the thinking of the little girl in front of him, and he had never understood it anyway.

Jiang Ying stayed for a while, and then she also understood the meaning of Jin Qi.

…… Such a sensible man, is it really hers?

In her last life, she really saved the galaxy, right?

A spontaneous sense of pride made Jiang Ying can't help but want to laugh, and it was still the kind that laughed out loud.

It's really a thing that can't be helped......

Jin Qi twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw her expression of trying to hold back a smile.

Jiang Ying coughed lightly, in case she really laughed, she diverted the topic and asked, "Now that it's so cold today, the road must not be easy to rush, and Brother Jin doesn't have to rush back in such a hurry." ”

The person in front of him, the outline of his facial features seems to be much deeper and more resolute, with a hood to cover it, and even a little vicissitudes, this should be the result of days of hurrying, right?

"I said that I just set off ahead of schedule, and I didn't rush to the road." Jin Qi emphasized.

Jiang Ying's eyes rolled slightly. Then he nodded and said "oh".

She didn't believe it.

On the letter sent back by Shi Qing some time ago, the date of payment was clear, and he said that he was planning to leave.

Counting the days, it's only been three months.

It took three months to rush back after nearly half a year's journey, which is not only in a hurry, but also in a hurry...... Day and night, right?

Jiang Yingben was a little happy, but when she thought of this, she changed suddenly.

How hard is that?

Jin Qi seemed to see that she didn't believe it, turned his eyes away and looked into the distance, and explained: "I just want to come back for the New Year before Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

Still admits to being in a hurry.

Jiang Ying nodded "um". looked at him and smiled and said, "I just happened to catch up." ”

Jin Qi turned his head to look at her. Suddenly, I found that her eyes were amazingly bright, and when I looked closely, it was like tears.

What are you crying about?

Good end-of-the-road.

Water can't make it?

Jin Qi frowned, only to see Jiang Ying suck her reddish nose. The tears that swirled in his eyes were forced back. Then she grinned at him. A neat row of white teeth was exposed.

This appearance fell in Jin Qi's eyes, and he only felt that he was delicate and beautiful.

It seems that with just one glance, the fatigue of Lianyue rushing to the road suddenly disappeared.

No matter how tired it is, it's worth it.

"Brother Jin. The taste of the Yangchun noodles I make now is nine points similar to the old man in Yangchun Lane, so I'll make it for you someday, right? ”

Without any warning, the topic suddenly turned to Yangchun.

When Jin Qi heard this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly in an inconspicuous arc, and under the shadow formed by the hood, his handsome facial features seemed to be smiling.

"Hmm."

……

In the evening, the Jin State Mansion.

After most of the day's busyness and hospitality, Xie arranged the accommodation of Princess Dongzhu and Prince Donglie from Xiling, and after personally making sure that everything was correct, he asked his subordinates to inform Jin Yuming that everything had been arranged.

"The prince and princess have rested." Jin Yuming walked into the study, closed the door and said to Jin Qingyun.

In the corner of the study, there is a silver fiery charcoal basin with the smell of smokeless fire, even at night in the wax moon, people can't feel the slightest cold.

Jin Yuming bypassed the six-fold floor-to-ceiling screen, only to see that in addition to Jin Qingyun in the study, Jin Qi was also there.

"And so." Jin Yuming lifted his robe and smiled and sat down cross-legged on the futon on the thick blanket spread under the Luohan bed, and said in a concerned tone: "I have only been caring about entertaining the prince and princess of Xiling for most of the day, and I haven't had time to say a few words to you - I should be tired when I come back from Xiling this time, right?" Second Uncle looks at you and doesn't seem to be very good. ”

When Jin Yuming spoke, even his eyes were full of a kind smile.

Jin Qi believed that he was really happy.

He brought back the heir of King Xiling and King Xiling's favorite princess, and Jin Yuming was naturally happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for your concern, I can recover after a few days of rest."

Jin Qingyun teased his eyelids, and then said with a smile: "It's not too early, if there is anything we have to say, it's not too late for us to say it tomorrow, but the boat will be tired after a long journey, and go back to rest first, you don't have to come here to say hello in the past two days, so you can live and nourish your spirit." ”

Jin Qi answered "yes", and then bowed and withdrew.

Suddenly, the door was closed with the soft sound of it closing.

"Father, what did I tell you?" Jin Yuming couldn't wait to ask, "Did King Xiling agree to borrow troops?" ”

Jin Qingyun squinted his eyes and shook his head.

The smile on Jin Yuming's face froze immediately, and he frowned and asked, "In this case, how can you let Prince Ying and Princess Dongzhu come to the capital thousands of miles away?" ”

In Xiling, Prince Ying means quasi-heir.

Speaking of this, Jin Yuming said again: "And I heard that King Xiling and his wife, Queen Xiling, only have one daughter, which is this Princess Dongzhu, when did you have this Prince Ying?" ”

"Do you know so well whether the King of Xiling, who is thousands of miles away, has an heir? I know more than I know. Jin Qingyun said meaninglessly.

"My son also learned about it by accident in his early years, and he is not sure ......," Jin Yuming explained curtly.

"However, it is said that this Prince Ying is the adopted son of King Xiling, although he has no blood of the Xiling Emperor, and he is a broken appearance, but he is very favored by King Xiling, and he is already a veritable Prince Ying." Jin Qingyun said slowly: "This time, the King of Xiling has let him return to Beijing with him, which shows that there is still room for the borrowing of troops. ”

Speaking of this, he changed to a smile instead of a smile. lowered his voice and said: "With the things of the year, if he agrees to it in one bite, I don't dare to accept this intention." ”

"Father means ......"

"I must have heard Ranzhi mention Yun Sha's death, because of the death of his sister and thus the resentment of our Jin family......" Jin Qingyun sneered and said: "I have agreed to her to enter the door back then, it was her own short life and poor fortune, and she died of dystocia during childbirth, who is to blame?" If I really want to settle this account, I haven't calculated it with him yet, he Yunzha sent such a broom star to my Jin family, and killed my own son! ”

When Jin Yuming heard this, a dull color flashed in his eyes, but his tone was extremely natural. Persuaded: "It's more than ten years ago. Why should my father be angry about the affairs of his eldest brother? ”

Jin Qingyun's tightly clenched fingers loosened and tightened.

Not to mention more than ten years, it is fifty years and a hundred years, as long as he still has a breath, he will never forget this matter.

It was his son who died!

If he forgets, who else will remember?

Jin Yuming glanced at Jin Qingyun's tense face. After a moment of silence. Diverting the topic, he asked, "In my father's opinion." What is the purpose of King Xiling's move? ”

"Do you still need to ask? Apparently trying to test our attitude. Jin Qingyun withdrew his thoughts from the past and said in a deep voice.

Test?

Jin Yuming seemed to think for a moment.

"It's a deliberate temptation...... Do we take it for granted? ”

"It's good to say that it's the in-laws, but who has anything to do with them except for Ran? To elaborate. I'm afraid it has to be an enemy with a long-standing grudge - although Yun Za seems to be informal, and he does things according to his heart, he is not a reckless person, and the matter of borrowing troops is not trivial, so he naturally has to make sure that we regard his nephew as a family before he is willing to consider it. ”

Jin Yuming made a sudden gesture, and then hurriedly said: "Please rest assured father about this, and the son of the Xie family will also explain it." ”

Isn't it acting?

"You don't have to tell Xie Shi that she's much smarter than your stupid son." Jin Qingyun said coldly.

"What my father said is that I will teach Ah Mi strictly when I go back, and explain the stakes to him......" Jin Yuming smiled bitterly, and when he mentioned his unconscious son, he also had a headache.

"If only you understood." Jin Qingyun glanced at him and said, "It's not early, you can go back and rest." ”

"Yes, my father should rest as soon as possible and take care of the cold at night."

"Hmm."

Jin Yuming bowed and retreated, but as soon as he walked to the screen, he heard Jin Qingyun who was sitting on the Luohan bed say: "By the way, the date of Mr. Kong's recognition ceremony has been set, and it is set on February 15 of the next year. ”

"Yes, my son wrote it down."

……

After Jin Qi left from Jin Qingyun, he did not go back to Yunqi Courtyard directly, but went to Mingzhen Courtyard, where Prince Ying Donglie was placed.

"Prince, my cousin is here." The person who spoke was brought by Dong Lie from Xiling, so he called Jin Qi his cousin.

Dong Lie, who had just finished bathing and was about to take off his mask, put the mask on again, and said, "Please come in." ”

But there are infinite doubts in my heart.

Although the two who are not related by blood are ostensibly cousins, these days of getting along, this cousin has not shown the slightest intimacy to him, and rarely takes the initiative to talk to him, unless he is told about the itinerary of the trip, and it is unprecedented to take the initiative to find him like today.

On the contrary, he inexplicably felt that this cousin had a sense of familiarity that he yearned for, and his father-in-law explained this to mean that he felt inexplicably close to his cousin because he was originally from the Central Plains.

Secretly confused, Dong Lie has come to the outer world.

Jin Qi sat down uninvited, waiting for him to come over.

"Cousin Jin came late at night, I don't know what happened?" Dong Lie sat down opposite Jin Qi and asked in a loud voice.

Jin Qi glanced at him, and said in the same tone as usual: "Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to learn from me and see the Central Plains martial arts?" How to do it today—"

"What?" He opened his mouth and didn't say a word, but he wanted to learn martial arts, which made Dong Lie stunned, and he couldn't react for a while.

Seeing that Jin Qi was still watching him, Dong Lie Fang came back to his senses, and then nodded happily.

He mentioned it to Jin Qi a few times before, but he was rejected, which has always been a regret in his heart.

It's just, why did you suddenly remember to promise him?

Even though Dong Lie had doubts in his heart, as a martial idiot, he was invincible to such temptations, so he immediately turned around and went to the inner room to change clothes.

Half an hour later, Jin Qi left Mingzhen Courtyard.

The facial expressions are slightly softer than when they came.

Dong Lie, who was helped back on the bed by two servants, suddenly understood.

This cousin of his, there is a fire in his heart!

What kind of martial arts competition, it's obvious that he's looking for anger!

"Prince, you seem to be seriously injured, and your subordinates have gone to the Duke of Jin to invite the doctor over—" The servant pursed his lips tightly when he saw Dong Lie's pain, and hurriedly said.

But Dong Lie stretched out his hand to stop him, "You don't need to ask a doctor, it's just a skin injury!" ”

"But the prince ......"

"I said no! Remember, don't make a noise—" Winter Flame commanded.

He is also one of the best warriors in Xiling, but in the hands of this cousin, he is so vulnerable and humiliating, it is no longer so simple to say that his face can be so simple, but it will be a major event that will humiliate the country!

The two servants also understood Dong Lie's intentions, so they had to go and get the wound medicine they brought to scratch their master.

While wiping it, he muttered in his heart, is there something wrong with the young master, can he beat his prince like this by learning martial arts, is there any humanity at all?

At the same time, he couldn't help but instruct again and again: "Prince, you must not learn from Young Master Cousin in the future......

It's been like this for a while, and they don't dare to think about it anymore......

……

Early the next morning, Shi Qing followed Mr. Kong to the Liang family's mansion.

At that time, Jiang Ying had just finished breakfast, and the bowl was just halfway washed, when she heard that Mr. Kong was coming.

So Zhuang hurriedly snatched the half-washed dishes in her hand and hurried to the front hall.

"I specially brought some fresh things back from Xiling for the girl—" Shi Qing smiled and explained his intentions.

"Let's see." Kong Fu smiled as soon as he saw his girl, and now urged Jiang Ying to open the box and look at it.

The small box contains some of the daughter's gadgets, handkerchiefs, headscarves, beaded bracelets and other things, most of which are colorful and have a strong exotic style.

Jiang Ying thanked happily.

"You don't need to thank me, it's all picked by Chang Jing, and I don't know the girl's preferences...... It can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. Shi Qing said with a smile, when he mentioned Hua Changjing, there was obvious closeness in his tone.

Jiang Ying saw that he didn't squirm, so she didn't shy away from anything, and asked with a smile: "Didn't Miss Hua come back with Brother Shi?" ”

"There are still some things in the business bank, she can't leave for a while, I'll come back with Jin Gongzi first." Shi Qing replied calmly.

"When I come back, I'll be able to do a happy event." Mr. Kong followed.

Shi Qing finally couldn't stand it, suddenly blushed, and in a slightly flustered way, he quickly diverted the conversation, and talked to Jiang Ying about some of his experiences in Xiling.

In the end, it is said that Xiling is monogamous, and women live as freely as men, with a heroic temperament and no scruples in their actions.

"That's why Princess Dongzhu spoke a little inappropriately yesterday, she didn't have malicious intentions, but under the cognition of their Xiling women, this kind ......of behavior is normal," Shi Qing mentioned in passing.

Jiang Ying was still immersed in the envy of the Xiling woman, and when she heard Shi Qing mention Princess Dongzhu at this moment, she curiously asked about the specific identity of the other party.

"Princess Dongzhu is the only daughter of King Xiling, and she is extremely favored - that is, the cousin of Prince Jin."

Jiang Ying couldn't help but be stunned.

Cousin?

Another cousin?

Where did Brother Jin get so many cousins......! ——
